Once only found in the domain of the marathon racer, bent-shaft paddles have gained popularity in recent years with recreational paddlers. Grey Owl didn't invent these efficient paddles, but long hours on the water make every technical advantage a windfall, and they know a good idea when we see one. In addition to all of the features found in the Grey Owl recreational line, the wooden paddles have a continuous, 8-ply bass wood, form-molded bent shaft.
